My Beretta "Ghost"

Recent Purchase - Beretta "Ghost"

Called "The Ghost" because it's a 92FS INOX (Stainles + Alloy) with the same for all external controls and internal parts - recent INOX have black polymer controls. Plus it has original grey wraparound grips with Beretta stamp. Sort of rare, a Beretta Ghost - though at the time of purchase I didn't know it.

I CCW this gun a lot - in spite of the size does not feel heavy and I use Perry Suspenders (GREAT, take a look online) to make it pretty comfortable. But out of my Alessi OWB holster ("Dept of Justice") it draws really quickly and the big hilt makes it easy to get to under clothing. I wear it under an open vest. Conceals OK. Feels great in the hand.

Shoots with wicked accuracy and to date has had no stoppages of any kind. It shoots like a .22 almost, really weird feel the absence of recoil - a minor "bump" at most. (And most welcome sensation. Fast and accurate follow-shots are a snap).

These guns have legend-reliability. Beretta USA's have average reliability of 17,500 rounds with no stoppages (the test ends at that point) and the military put these through tests: 10 shooters firing them: 168,000 rounds with no stoppages, (test ended at that number). As you know, as the M9, these are US Service Pistols for the Military. So, it field-strips in a second and the S. Steel internals make it a wipe with a cloth to clean. 5 min. for a thorough cleaning.

Beretta makes beautiful guns. I love my Cougar, although if the 92 is as thick as the Cougar it's hard to imagine concealing it well. The 92 was the first gun I ever shot, in boot camp, and I remember being similarly impressed by the low recoil you mention.

Made OWB to ride ON the hip and is very comfortable. Holster curves out on the inside front so it fits right on the rising side of the hip bone. Has two slots for the belt which go in the pants loop also - making the holster and gun rock steady and yet holds the gun close to the body and pretty high. Conceals best under open jacket, suitcoat, vest, button-up sweater etc.
